Cornell Chicken Marinade

This is the only chicken marinade you'll ever need! You can find the recipe and read reviews HERE. I've been making this for about ten years with no complaints. Please don't add as much salt as the recipe calls for though! You really only need about a teaspoon.

Crockpot Broccoli Casserole

We had some friends over for dinner and I wanted to do something different. I found this broccoli recipe that you make in your slow cooker. Perfect! Granted, it doesn't look the most appetizing, but it tastes great, even though I cooked it way too long. You can find the recipe here at my favorite CrockPotting blog. I used Havarti cheese because that's what I had, but next time I'll try one of the ones she mentioned. Enjoy! Be forewarned... your house will smell like broccoli. Not just a little bit.

Weeknight Lasagna Toss

I've avoided making lasagna for years. Literally. I find it too tedious. Then I found THIS recipe in my Kraft Food and Family magazine. Now I can't stop making it (minus the green peppers!). The package of lasagna noodles I bought had sixteen noodles in it, sooooooo I planned ahead and used only eight for the recipe. It worked fine and still made a huge amount. One of the extra tips at the bottom mentioned using ricotta, so I did that too. Definitely a hit with most of us... (there is always that one, isn't there?)
